Avant PLACEGrades 6-16

Avant PLACE will place your students quickly, easily, and accurately, saving time and money. Avant PLACE goes beyond other placement tests by measuring writing and speaking as well as reading comprehension and grammar. Only Avant PLACE allows teachers to access students’ scored speaking and writing responses to help place borderline students. Quick and convenient, Avant PLACE can be taken anytime, anywhere, and lasts just 40 minutes. Teachers and administrators can access a dashboard with demographic data, individual section scores, and a recommended placement level.

Avant will work with an individual institution to fine-tune the reporting to its placement levels. We also offer an individual payment option for students to pay for the test online. Avant PLACE is used by many leading colleges and universities that seek a robust and turnkey placement solution.

Cross-device Solutions

Many of Avant’s assessments are accessible on Internet-connected tablet devices, as well as computers. At this time, all but the speaking sections of Avant’s assessments can be accessed on tablet devices. We continue to work to enable all sections of our assessments to be taken on tablets.

Currently students can take our assessments at anytime and anywhere there is a proctored environment. We are in the process of implementing a remote proctoring solution that will enable students to take our assessments on a truly anytime, anywhere basis.
